Born in 1834 in Virginia, Frederick William Benteen sided with the Union during the Civil War, fighting as an officer with the 10th Missouri Cavalry. After serving briefly as the colonel of a Negro regiment, Benteen was appointed captain in the new 7th Cavalry in 1866 and served in all of its western Indian campaigns until 1882.
